Thanks, Paul! It’s such a joy to see him so proud. As hoped, the exercise not only helped him order his written sentences (and practice handwriting!), but also got him into more of a work-first, play-later mindset … where applicable!

His satisfaction in earning it definitely came out in his blog posts. Wasn’t hard to see that. It’s awesome when you see that from your children, especially when you know it has taught an important life lesson.

I love it! Before I practiced seeing what I’m doing well for a few months, it was much easier to see evidence I’d really blown something than that I’d done something right. Now it warms my heart to see not only the oh-no’s, but also the oh-yeah’s. 🙂
